in terms of not saving money….
20k miles a year travelled for work purposes.
Roughly £4000 for the car fuel, based on my car
Tiger would be £2300! My car requires 4 new tyres when they're changed, which is a minimum if £400 each time, where as the bike would be £300 for the same distance, which would be roughly 2 rears and 1 front. I can reduce the insurance cost on the car, which will be affected this year, due to vandalism.
And I arrive at work like 😀 and not 👿
In regards to doing the commute in the car before riding it on a bike. I've done that for the last 5 years!
Winter riding will test my resolve, but to be honest I will most likely choose the car, as it's a subaru outback, so deals with ice and snow really rather well, plus I'm a southern flat lander, so we hardly ever get anything worse than rain.
I have already got my riding kit and its all HG gortex and lovely. Can't imagine I will ever get cold in that gear!
Cheers for ll your help. TJ, I know you like your scooters, but I will never buy one of those. Just not me.
